Dr Alberti is a Director of the VU Foundation, through which all scholarships are disbursed.

"Donating to the VU Achievement Scholarships Program is more than just providing an opportunity for students - it is about community, supporting and building successful communities. That is what is important to me.

I hope I am encouraging other people to donate, because there's nothing more rewarding."

The then Club Chief Executive, VU alumnus and a Director of VU Foundation, Dr Campbell Rose announced in 2009 that the Bulldogs' would, in perpetuity, annually donate a $1 contribution for every adult member of the Club to support the VU Achievement Scholarships.
